JACOB SHARP'S LAST HOPE.
HIS CASE HAY 60 TO THE UNITED
STATES SUPREME COURE 't

rt VIII n tho Court OF Appeals Decides
Against hIm-The Constitutional tluestien
Involved IL tho Basis OF an Appeal.
It Is announced that jacob Sharp's law
yers will carry hts case up to tho Supreme
Court OF the United States II the Court OF APP
penls decides against him. This action has
been decided on since the General Torn OF tho
Supreme Court reversed the action OF Justice
Potter In granting stay to Sharp, when Sharp
would have been sent to Sing Sing at once had
not his lawyers obtained another stay from
Chief Judge Ruger OF the Court Of Appeals.
The main ground for carrying tho case to the
Supreme Court Of the United States will be
that the Constitution Of the United States has
been violated In using Sharp's testimony be-
fore the Senate Investigating Committee
against him when he was tried. Tho clause in
the Constitution referred to 70 the section Of
Article v. OF the amendment. which says:

Sharp's attorney say that they expect re-
versal Of the decision Of the General Term by
the full bench OF Judges will be with them.
The lawyers think chat the cases of Jaime
and O'Neil could also be carried to the United
States supreme Court There Is no doubt that

Striking Miners.

WILKEsBARRE Oct. 1s-The General As
sembly of the Knights OF Labor at Minneapo-
lis does not look with favor upon the levying
Of general assessment to aid the striking
miners in the Lehigh region. Mr.. Powderly
telegraphed that he would do all in his power
to have an assessment levied. but o despatch
received this morning says that Mr.. Powderly
is too much taken up with other matters. the
Convention Is not favorable to the assessment
scheme, and the Knights of Labor in the coal
regions ought to be able to provide for tho Inn
mediate wants of the strikers. The indirer-
ence OF the General Assembly has caused great
dissatisfaction among the local assemblies
here. who say that when the great Northwest
